<p>I have acquired many professional pictures from the lead poseur of Boue&#39; Soeurs, shown in beautifully designed clothing of Sylvie and Jeanne. A book is in the works and I would like to talk to you both, in person if possible.. Thank you. Oh I realize the 100 year anniversary is upon us..</p>Rachel commented on 'Boué Soeurs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01156f47abbe970c016767f26bee970b2012-06-28T16:19:57Z2012-06-28T17:28:23ZRachelhttp://profile.typepad.com/1240419565s10025Susan, that sounds interesting.

Marthe Regnier, Habillee par Boue Soeurs (pardon absence of accents, s.v.p.). The plate is attributed to Typogravure Goupil of France. I can find little information about the magazine, but the illustration does have the &#39;signature&#39; roses on the dress (two, one at bodice, one at hem). Very interesting ensemble. Wish I could upload a copy of a scan. </p>Denise Marie Chirco commented on 'Boué Soeurs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01156f47abbe970c015390f19028970b2011-08-24T00:40:48Z2011-08-24T00:40:48ZDenise Marie ChircoI am excited to find information on the box of photos I aquired, with pictures from the twenties, of a...<p>I am excited to find information on the box of photos I aquired, with pictures from the twenties, of a model named Marion Van Tassel, the photos show her in many of the Boue Soeurs. I have some magazine ads also showing other models.</p>Diane Montegut commented on 'Boué Soeurs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01156f47abbe970c015390c6d97e970b2011-08-17T19:44:33Z2011-08-17T19:44:33ZDiane MontegutI am the grandaughter of Sylvie Boue Montegut.

Sylvie&#39;s son, Philippe, my father, told us many endearing stories of my grandmother and great aunt, who had both passed before I was born. Just to add to your information, the sisters were known as Les Irondelles de la Dentelle, for their work with lace. The rose that decorated many of their creations was their signature. You are probably already aware that my father contributed what he had left of their creations to The Metropolitan Museum&#39;s costume collection in New York. <br />
All the best,<br />
Diane Montegut<br />

It is such an honor to interact with the grand-daughter of a legend. What a blessed life to be the grand-daughter of such an amazing person.</p>Sue Whelan commented on 'Boué Soeurs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01156f47abbe970c0133f51370dd970b2010-10-14T23:58:39Z2010-10-14T23:58:39ZSue WhelanI'm thrilled to see some information on the Soeurs Boué as I have long thought their designs were unusually delicate...<p>I&#39;m thrilled to see some information on the Soeurs Boué as I have long thought their designs were unusually delicate and feminine, even for the Edwardian period. Their use of ribbon embroidery and lace was especially beautiful. It&#39;s obvious they loved and respected handwork. Thank you for posting the pictures of that exquisite dress. If Ms. Roussel is willing to furnish more details on the sisters&#39; history, especially in America, I would love to read about it.</p>Rachel commented on 'Boué Soeurs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01156f47abbe970c01310f4e94a6970c2010-03-01T20:25:09Z2010-06-10T14:24:10ZRachelhttp://profile.typepad.com/1240419565s10025It is so delightful to see your comment!

It must have been fascinating to know these two creative women. Did you have a sense of their talents as a child, or did you learn about their design career as an adult?</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to contribute to our knowledge of these talented sisters!<br />

I was born in 1945 so I knew my grandmother and great-aunt at the end of their lives. Sylvie Montegut, who was the creative force behind most of the designs, died of cancer in November of 1953 at the age of 81. Jeanne d&#39;Etreillis, who opened and ran the stores, and took the collection to the courts of the crowned heads of Europe before World War I, died of congestive heart failure in June of 1957, also at 81. She had closed the business 3 months before she died.<br />
I would be happy to answer your questions about Boue Soeurs and the two sisters who created the business from nothing more than their genius and their faith in themselves. Please send your questions to my email address below. I will tell you quite honestly if I don&#39;t know the answer to your question: I am a historian by training and I don&#39;t believe in making things up. I have advanced arthritis so if there is a bit of a delay in my answering your message it just means the arthritis is acting up.<br />
